Communist papers were attacking the Government on several fronts.
First and foremost of these issues was the imprisonment of 23 striking water workers who were elected office-bearers of a union.
Won Wei and Ta Kung said in identical stories that the Hong Kong Government Waterworks Chinese Employees Union had issued a statement at a meeting yesterday to protost against the new provocation.
